Yes, I'm a sappy one when it comes to music lyrics having meaning. There are lots of times that I will associate a particular song with what I'm thinking and feeling. But of course right now I can't think of any :P Sorry.

Say Goodbye

"Say Goodbye"

So you face yesterday
Thinking on the days of old
And the price that we paid
For a love we couldn't hold

I let you slip away
There was nothing I could do
That was so long ago, yeah
Still I often think of you

I fall down, I get up
And I've always had to fight
Everything that was wrong
For the things that were right

Now I finally found my way
Now I know just what to do
Once you said goodbye to me, yeah
Now I say goodbye to you

It's so hard to find your way
When the lies come around
Still it happens everyday
So don't let it get you down

Just a time within a time
Just a scheme within a scheme
A little world within a world
Yes, a dream, just a dream

Now I finally found my way
Now I know just what to do
Once you said goodbye to me, yeah
Now I say goodbye to you

Now I best be on my way
Before the night turns blue
Once you said goodbye to me, yeah
And now I say goodbye to you
Once you said goodbye to me, yeah
Now I say goodbye to you

Lawyers in Love (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEULVyg1O_8)

I can't keep up with what's been going on
I think my heart must just be slowing down
Among the human beings in their designer jeans
Am I the only one who hears the screams
And the strangled cries of lawyers in love

God sends his spaceships to America, the beautiful
They land at six o'clock and there we are, the dutiful
Eating from TV trays, tuned into to Happy Days
Waiting for World War III while Jesus slaves
To the mating calls of lawyers in love

Last night I watched the news from Washington, the capitol
The Russians escaped while we weren't watching them, like Russians will
Now we've got all this room, we've even got the moon
And I hear the U.S.S.R. will be open soon
As vacation land for lawyers in love



Walk Like a Camel (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHRDxWHYU8M)

Baby, Would you eat that there cracker
In your special outfit for me, please?
owwwWEEEEE!!!!!

Yo ye pharoahs, let us walk
Through this barren desert, in search of truth
And some pointy boots, and maybe a few snack crackers.
OWWWW WEEE baby, you make me wanna walk like a camel.
OWWWW WEEE, walk!

Who's in charge here, where's my Captain's wafers?
Don't go around hungry now, the way you eat that oatmeal pie
Makes me just wanna die, baby, OWWWW
You make me wanna walk like a camel.
OWWWW WEEE, walk!

Say, you don't think there's any way I could get that quarter
From underneath your pointy boot, do ya?
All I want is just one more oatmeal pie.
OWWWW WEEE, Little Debbie, Little Debbie
I'm a comin on home, baby, 'cause you make me wanna walk
Like a camel, OWWWW WEEE

King of the Hill (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FiG6lNF3Qxc)

L.A's asleep
You roll up your window
The night air is cold
The freeway is clear

In a green Gucci bag
Are your prized possessions
The jewels of your mind
To hold back the fear

And when Monday comes around
There's a high lonesome sound
And she follows you down for the kill
And a white blinding light
Makes it all seem so right
And you feel like the king of the hill

The driveway is long
Your princess is lovely
Your servants all wait
For your knock on the door

How many years
Will you crawl through the castle
So satisfied
And still wanting more

And when Monday comes around
There's a high lonesome sound
And she follows you down for the kill
And a white blinding light
Makes it all seem so right
And you feel like the king of the hill

The guests have arrived
With all the right faces
But you miss the ball
In that room down the hall

It's sunrise again
The driveway is empty
The crystal is cracked
There's blood on the wall

And when Monday comes around
There's a high lonesome sound
And she follows you down for the kill
And a white blinding light
Makes it all seem so right
And you feel like the king of the hill

Can't Fight This Feeling (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqJK29zsO44)
I can't fight this feeling any longer.
And yet I'm still afraid to let it flow.
What started out as friendship,
Has grown stronger.
I only wish I had the strength to let it show.

I tell myself that I can't hold OUT forever.
I said there is no reason for my fear.
Cause I feel so secure when we're together.
You give my life direction,
You make everything so clear.

And even as I WANDER,
I'm keeping you in sight.
You're a candle in the window,
On a cold, dark winter's night.
And I'm getting closer than I ever THOUGHT I MIGHT.

And I can't fight this feeling anymore.
I've forgotten what I started fighting for.
It's time to bring this ship into the shore,
And throw away the oars, forever.

Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore.
I've forgotten what I started fighting for.
And if I have to crawl upon the floor,
Come crashing through your door,
Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore.

My life has been such a whirlwind since I saw you.
I've been running round in circles in my mind.
And it always seems that I'm following you, girl,
Cause you take me to the places,
That alone I'd never find.

And even as I wander,
I'm keeping you in sight.
You're a candle in the wind,
On a cold, dark winter's night.
And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might.

And I can't fight this feeling anymore.
I've forgotten what I started fighting for.
It's time to bring this ship into the shore,
And throw away the oars, forever.

Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore.
I've forgotten what I started fighting for.
And if I have to crawl upon the floor,
Come crashing through your door,
Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore.

This Night We Fell (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Krgxtb835iY&feature=related)

I love good lyrics but instrumentals are nice too.


I had a business lunch today and the music was too loud - Van morrison, steely dan, etc, I kept getting distracted.....hard to make conversation.

I am listening to the Mermen right now. surf instrumentals....good stuff.

Alone (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RajNXA3bWeA)
I was a midnight rider on a cloud of smoke
I could make a woman hang on every single stroke
I was an iron man
I had a master plan
But I was alone

I could hear you breathing
With a sigh of the wind
I remember how your body started trembling
Oh, what a night it's been
And for the state I'm in
I'm still alone

And all the wonders made for the Earth
And all the hearts in all creation
Somehow I always end up alone
Always end up alone

So I play, I'll wait
'Cause you know that love takes time
We came so far
Just the beat of a lonely heart
And it's mine
I don't want to be alone

Well, since I got no message on your answer phone
And since you're busy every minute.
I just stay at home
I make believe you care
I feel you everywhere
But I'm still alone

I'm on a wheel of fortune with a twist of fate
'Cause I know it isn't heaven, is it love or hate
Am I the subject of the pain
An I the stranger in the rain
I am alone

And if there glory there to behold
Maybe it's my imagination
Another story there to be told

So I play, I'll wait
And I pray it's not too late
We came so far
Just a beat of a lonely heart
And it's mine
I don't want to be alone

And all the wonders made for the Earth
And all the hearts in all creation
Another story there to be told

So I play, I'll wait
And I pray it's not too late
We came so far
Just a beat of a lonely heart
And it's mine
I don't want to be alone

Gone, but not out of sight
I'm caught in the rain and there's no one home
Face the heat of the night
The one that you love's got a heart that's made of stone

Shine and search for the light
And sooner or later you'll be cruising on your ocean

And clean out of sight
I'm caught in the rain and there's no one home

Tupelo Honey/Why Must I Always Explain (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojGuCttS55w)

Guilty (not a link) words and lyrics by Randy Newman
as performed by Bonnie Raitt.

Yes baby I been drinkin'
And I shouldn't come by I know
But I found myself in trouble
And I had nowhere else to go

Got some whisky from the barman
Got some cocaine from a friend
I just had to keep on movin'
Til I was back in your arms again

Guilty baby I'm guilty
And I'll be guilty the rest of my life
How come I never do what I'm supposed to do
How come nothin' that I try to do ever turns out right?

You know you know how it is with me baby
You know, I just can't stand myself
And it takes a whole lot of medicine
For me to pretend that I'm somebody else


It almost kills me listening to this version (Bonnie Raitt) there is more feeling
in this than almost any song I've heard, way beyond believable. .
Give it a listen if you can.

All I Want To Do (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSyeto050ZU) - Sugarland

I don't want to get up baby let's turn off the phone
I don't want to go to work today or even put my make-up on
I got better things to do than my to do list anyway
hide under the covers and waste away the day
let's just lay here and be lazy, baby drive me crazy

(chourus)
All I want to do oo oo oo oo
oo oo oo oo oo oo
All I want to do oo oo oo oo
oo oo oo oo oo oo
Is Love You

I got my whole life to change the world and climb the ladder
Lookin at you looking at me Is the only thing that matters
Come a little closer baby we can talk without words
Hang a sign on the door please do not disturb
let's just lay here and be lazy baby drive me crazy


chourus

Give me a Kiss from that Elvis lip
you don't want to miss this

Chourus

All I really wanna do is
All I really wanna do is
All I really wanna do is
Love you and love you and love you
Come a little closer baby,we can talk without words
Hang a sign on the door please do not, please do not, please do not disturb

when I lay down in the evening
all I really wanna do is

when I wake up, when I wake up in the morning baby all I
really wanna do is love you!

Something More (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJW2yS5tY9o&feature=channel) - Sugarland

Monday, hard to wake up
Fill my coffee cup, I'm out the door
Yeah the freeway, standing still today
Is gonna make me late, and that's for sure
I'm running out of gas and out of time
Never gonna make it there by nine

There's gotta be something more
Gotta be more than this
I need a little less hard time
I need a little more bliss
I'm gonna take my chances
Taking a chance I might
Find what I'm looking for
There's gotta be something more

Five years and there's no doubt
That I'm burnt out, I've had enough
So now boss man, here's my two weeks
I'll make it short and sweet, so listen up
I could work my life away, but why?
I got things to do before I die

There's gotta be something more
Gotta be more than this
I need a little less hard time
I need a little more bliss
I'm gonna take my chances
Taking a chance I might
Find what I'm looking for
There's gotta be something more

Some believe in destiny, and some believe in fate
I believe that happiness is something we create
You best believe that I'm not gonna wait
Cause there's gotta be something more

I get home 7:30, the house is dirty, but it can wait
yeah, cause right now I need some downtime
To drink some red wine and celebrate
Yeah Armageddon could be knocking at my door
But I ain't gonna answer that's for sure
There's gotta be something

There's gotta be something more
Gotta be more than this
I need a little less hard time
I need a little more bliss
I'm gonna take my chances
Taking a chance I might
Find what I'm looking for
Gotta be something more

Got to be, got to be, got to be more

I might fall from a tall building
I might roll a brand new car
Cos I'm the unknown stuntman
That made Redford such a star

Just In Case (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-NfgLDvnas) - Bee Gees

Well, it seems every night and day, I get to lose
And I always held the faith inside
That love would find a way
And I always reached for more than the others ever saw
I was always the first to follow my foolish prayer
And the feeling that I have is more than any soul could bear
Hold me when I wake
Then I can be sure of who I am
I'm half the man I should be, when you're gone


And you're telling me this is love,
But just in case, keep my heart in a secret place
Safe under lock and key, 'til I know it's only me
One of us got to be the one that's true
One for the other and the love comes through
Right here or out in space
Give my heart to you, babe, but just in case
Yeah, just in case

Tell the world that I've come to claim your tomorrows
Let the universal word go out a million miles away
And let history show
On the wind the seed is sown
We are living in a time where the tears fall where they might
But we hear each other much more than those who see
We are not alone
Love is there for everyone who needs
And for anyone who cries
I will always have you here with me
Ohh

And you're telling me this is love,
But just in case, keep my heart in a secret place
Safe under lock and key
'Til I know it's only me
One of us has got to be the one that's true
One for the other and the love comes through
Yours, mine, and face to face
Give my heart to you
But just in case
Yeah, just in case

Ahhh, ohhh baby, ahhh, ohhh, ohhh baby, ahhh

And you're telling me this is love,
But just in case, keep my heart in a secret place
Safe under lock and key
'Til I know it's only me
One of us has got to be the one that's true
One for the other and the love comes through
Yours, mine, and face to face

YouTube - "Throw your arms around me" - Mark Seymour

I will come for you at night time
I will raise you from your sleep
I will kiss you in four places
I'll go running along your street
I will squeeze the life out of you
You will make me laugh and make me cry
We will never forget it
You will make me call your name and I'll shout it to the blue summer sky
We may never meet again
So shed your skin and lets get started
And you will throw your arms around me

I dreamed of you at night time
And I watched you in your sleep
I met you in high places
I touched your head and touched your feet
So if you dissapear out of view
You know, I will never say goodbye
Though I try to forget it
You will make me call your name and I'll shout it to the blue summer sky

We may never meet again
So shed your skin and lets get started
And you will throw your arms around me
Yeah you will throw you arms around me

excellent 65'r. :)

Crazy Love - Van Morrison (no linky)
I can hear her heart beat for a thousand miles
And the heavens open every time she smiles
And when I come to her that's where I belong
Yet I'm running to her like a rivers song

Chorus:
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love

She's got a fine sense of humor when I'm feeling low down
And when I come to her when the sun goes down
Take away my trouble, take away my grief
Take away my heartache, in the night like a thief

Chorus:
Yes I need her in the daytime
Yes I need her in the night
Yes I want to throw my arms around her
Kiss her hug her kiss her hug her tight

And when I'm returning from so far away
She gives me some sweet lovin brighten up my day
Yes it makes me righteous, yes it makes me feel whole
Yes it makes me mellow down in to my soul

Chorus

Crazy For You

Shouldn't I be jealous since I know the reminiscining is about someone else? :)

I remember the 1980's movie that had this song,.... surrogate Mom movie...........

no, you shouldn't be jealous of someone that's in my past. a past that is 15yr old....

i'm fine. someone just reminded me of things in the past when they told me they didn't want to (or couldn't) listen to Sugarland right now........:)
